    Help!

    Hi, I'm new here at major geeks and i've got a serious problem with my computer. I've got the file deb60819.exe in C:\Program Files\Common Files\System and is also a process in my task manager.

    about every 30 seconds this file screws up my page file usage history by slowly going up. atm it's 521 MB's and every 30 sec's it slowly goes up to 2521 MB's and stays there for a while and then comes back to 521.

    Please help quickly!



    OS: Windows XP professional Dutch version 2002
    Service Pack 2

    Welcome to MajorGeeks.com, please follow the steps below:

    - Run ALL the steps in this Sticky thread READ & RUN ME FIRST Before Asking for Support
    • Make sure you check version numbers and get all updates.
    After doing ALL of the above you still have a problem make sure you have booted to normal mode and run the steps in the below link to properly use HijackThis:

    Downloading, Installing, and Running HijackThis

    Make sure you also rename HijackThis.exe as suggested in the procedures. Use analyse.exe for the new name. This is very important due to some new infections going around.

    When you return to make your next post, make sure you attach the following logs and that you have run these scans in the following order too:
    • CounterSpy
    • AVG Antispyware Log - ONLY IF NEEDED you were not able to run CounterSpy
    • Bitdefender - from step 6
    • Panda Scan - from step 6
    • runkeys.txt - the log from GetRunKey.bat
    • newfiles.txt - the log from ShowNew.bat
    • HijackThis

    Problem didn't occur at reboot to normal mode, but as I said the problem doesn't always occur.
    When I look in C:\Program Files\Common Files\System I don't see the file deb60911.exe anymore... but I do see deb60910.exe. I guess deb60911.exe has been deleted, but deb60910.exe has replaced it.

    !!NO GOOD!!

    is everything you tell me to delete all the rubish that's on my computer? or is that just all related to deb60***.exe.

    If you have time......... could you tell me what rubbish to delete??


    thanks,

    Everything I am having you uninstall and delete is part of the problem.

    You have some Trojan files that are being regenerated when you restart the system. Look at the programs listed in Add or Remove Programs for installed programs that you don't recall installing, make a list of those and post that list here.

    Let's take a look for Rootkits. Follow the instructions for Using Sophos Anti-Rootkit.

    Post the log from Sophos Anti-Rootkit and the list of install programs you don't recognize.

    RadLinker and System Requirements Lab are 2 programs in the add/remove programs list that I don't recall installing.

    there is also CLI.exe, Dit.exe and DitExp.exe running in my process list in task manager. are these meant to be there or is it just rubbish taking in my computer's memory?

    There is also C:\WINDOWS\system32\rundll32.exe on my computer, and I saw somewhere else here on MajorGeeks.com that someone recommended to delete that. (it showed up as a running process in task manager)

    should I delete this too? or is it not a problem for me?

    Shadow_Puter_Dude MG Authorized Malware Fighter

    Both of these are legit. RadLinker is for over clocking your ATI video card and System Requirements Lab is http://www.systemrequirementslab.com
    All legit CLI.exe is for your ATI video card and the other 2 are for a USB card reader.

    No, rundll is a require MS process, it's what rundll32 is running that is important. It could be legit or it cold be malicious. Just depends on the dll being loaded.

    Post fresh ShowNew and GetRunKey logs. This, C:\WINDOWS\system32\taskmgr.exe, is showing up in your HJT log again.

    that's just my task manager. I'm sorry but because of the deb608** I had to end that process about every minute, so that I could use the computer normally. It's become a habit now to check that deb bastard every time.
     
  22. Shadow_Puter_Dude

    Shadow_Puter_Dude MG Authorized Malware Fighter

    I know that was Task Manger. Sometimes legit files get replaced and then display in the running processes. I should have asked if you had it open.

    How is your computer running?

    before you helped me delete unwanted files from my computer, the memory use was always around 700MB, now that has lowered to 500MB.
    When I joined MajorGeeks I had 3 problems with my computer:

    1. deb60***.exe ruined my computer memory in a really weird way.
    2. average memory use was always around 700MB.
    3. it takes about 5 minutes to start-up my computer.

    problem 1 is fixed, problem 2 is "partially" fixed (memory use has lowered, problem 3 is not fixed at all...

    If you have any more tips, please fill me in.

    I also have a thread open Hardware "RAM questions", where I talked about these problems, but I haven't had many replies.

    I've attached HJT, runkeys and newfiles, maybe you can notice other issues on my computer.

    I went to spamweed.com and spamweed is a spam filter. I remember the SpamWeed logo from somewhere so I think I've used it sometime. The problem here is; I looked in the HJT log file and what I saw was this:

    O4 - Global Startup: SpamWeed .lnk = C:\Program Files\SpamWeed\swengine.exe

    I navigated to C:\Program Files\ but I couldn't find SpamWeed anywhere, I made the computer look for SpamWeed files, and it's got some files in my documents and a link in the Start Menu that leeds to nowhere.

    I guess I should delete all files related to SpamWeed as it looks like most of it has already been deleted?



    PS. if there are some programs I don't want to allow to load at startup, can I use HijackThis to delete some files from the startup 'registry'?

    Sorry, I've been away for a few days.

    I'm not seeing anything in your logs that would explain the slow down. There is a new version of GetRunKey, download and run the new version and post that log.

    Also, disable Internet Connection Sharing. What does that do for boot times?

    Well there are non-malware things that can be done.

    Uninstall CounterSpy now since it is not needed anymore.

    And also the below startups can be fixed with HJT since none of them are necessary and just slow down boot up.
    O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [Share-to-Web Namespace Daemon] C:\Program Files\Hewlett-Packard\HP Share-to-Web\hpgs2wnd.exe
    O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [NeroFilterCheck] C:\WINDOWS\system32\NeroCheck.exe

    O9 - Extra button: (no name) - {85d1f590-48f4-11d9-9669-0800200c9a66} - %windir%\bdoscandel.exe (file missing)
    O9 - Extra 'Tools' menuitem: Uninstall BitDefender Online Scanner v8 - {85d1f590-48f4-11d9-9669-0800200c9a66} - %windir%\bdoscandel.exe (file missing)

    What can I do with these?

    Also, can I use MSCONFIG --> Startup to get programs out of the startup system?
    or would this do the same as HJT?

    eg. Daemon Tools DAEMON Tools] "D:\DAEMON Tools\daemon.exe

    The way I see it: HJT actually deletes the file and in MSCONFIG you just check/uncheck the files whenever you want to.
    (I've never tried this before, it's just a guess)



    I don't really know what Internet Connection Sharing is for. (as I don't use this computer as an internet connection center [other computers connected to this one])
    And I've got no idea how to disable that.



    Oh, and I don't use wireless internet connection on this computer. So can I uncheck (in MSCONFIG)
    C:\Program Files\NETGEAR\WG111v2 Configuration Utility\RtlWake.exe

    or in HJT
    WG111v2 Smart Wizard Wireless Setting.lnk = ?

    I'm sorry but this is the last message to discuss any of this! None of this has anything to do with malware and we do not have time to help several hundred users coming here per week tweak their PC performance. This forum is only for malware topics which we have already gone way beyond.

    Nothing! They are from Bitdefended online scan and they are not missing! This is a bug in HJT. It sometimes reports things missing that are not.

    That is not what MSconfig is designed for. What is it that you don't want to startup? Uninstall software you don't use/need? For software you need but don't want to have run at startup, use settings within the program to tell it not to load at startup. If it does not have these settings, fix it with HJT if you never want it to run at Startup. Otherwise use a program like Startup CPL to control startups.

    Why did you install it if you don't need it?

    See: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/234815


    If you don't need this then why have the software installed. Uninstall WG111v2 Configuration Utility should be the first approach but then you will have to reinstall it if you need to configure wireless capability at a later time. Alternatives: have HJT fix that line, or use StartUp CPL.


    If you are not having any other malware problems, it is time to do our final steps:
    1. If we used Pocket Killbox during your cleanup, do the below
      • Run Pocket Killbox and select File, Cleanup, Delete All Backups
    2. If we used ComboFix you can delete the ComboFix.exe file and associated C:\combofix.txt log that was created.
    3. If we user SDFix you can delete all the SDFix related files and folders from your Desktop or whereever you installed it.
    4. If we used VundoFix, you can delete the VundoFix.exe file and the C:\VundoFix Backups folder and C:\vundofix.txt log that was created.
    5. If we had your run FixWareOut, you can delete the Fixwareout.exe file and the C:\fixwareout folder.
    6. If we had you download any registry patches like fixme.reg or fixWLK.reg (or any others), you can delete these files now.
    7. You can delete the ShowNew.Zip and GetRunkey.Zip files and the files that you extracted from the ZIP files. You can also delete the C:\newfiles.txt and C:\runkeys.txt logs that were created
    8. If you are running Windows XP or Windows ME, do the below:
      • go back to step 8 of the READ & RUN ME to Disable System Restore which will flush your Restore Points.
      • Then reboot and Enable System Restore to create a new clean Restore Point.
    9. After doing the above, you should work thru the below link:
